Chia Pudding

Yesterday I introduced you to these tiny but powerful seeds, called “chia seeds.” I talked about some ways to incorporate them into your diet, including making a pudding with them. The most awesome thing about making chia pudding is that you can flavour it however you want!

Here is the base recipe:

Basic Chia Pudding

Serves 1

3 Tbsp. chia seeds

1 cup milk/water/juice/coconut water/some kind of liquid (I typically use milk because it gives it a bit more flavor and substance).

Stir and let sit in the fridge overnight. (I find that giving it another good stir an hour or so after first mixing helps get all the seeds that might be stuck to the bottom and wouldn’t otherwise gel-up). In the morning, simply stir in your desired flavorings and enjoy!

*See how it’s all thick and gel-ly? So cool!

Here are some flavouring ideas:

Fresh Fruit Chia Pudding

*This one tastes better if you make the pudding with some kind of flavoured milk (almond or coconut)
